The Hero Destini 110 recently received a comprehensive update, carrying forward the neo-retro styling from its 125cc sibling. Positioned as a value-focused alternative in a segment dominated by the Honda Activa and TVS Jupiter, the Destini 110 is simple, affordable, and built with comfort in mind. If you're considering the Destini 110, here's what works in its favour and a couple of reasons it might not be the best option.

My ice dancing partner for two days is the Audi S5 Avant – the hotted-up estate version of the new A5. The long roof, tight proportions and muscular haunches make it look the business, and it’s got the go to match the show with a 367hp, 550Nm, 3.0-litre turbo-petrol V6. It’s also got a key detail that will make all the difference in this environment – Quattro all-wheel drive. Also essential here are studded tyres. Th...
